The French Senate has passed in first reading a bill aimed at simplifying the forced removal of illegally parked caravans. The text, adopted by 235 votes to 101, would cut the notice period to 24 hours and the appeal window to 24 hours, and would add environmental damage to the grounds for eviction. It also lowers the threshold for mandatory reporting of mobile home groups from 150 to 100 units and doubles the fine for illegal installation on another's land to 1,000 euros. The bill has been sent to the National Assembly.
